Catch Your Breath - You've Got This

On Tuesday 2 February we are delivering two mental health workshops - one designed specifically for those in P7 and one for 15-18 year olds. These workshops will promote resilience among young people to help them to cope with the challenges they face everyday and as a result of the pandemic. The workshops will be available at 11am and will continue to be accessible on our website for use at a time that suits individuals and groups.

🎉We are proud to announce that St. Paul's Primary and Nursery School has successfully achieved the School of Sanctuary award! We are extremely proud to be the first primary school in West Belfast to win the award!! 🎉

Schools of Sanctuary are awarded to schools that offer sanctuary to all their pupils, staff, parents and wider school community. St. Paul's has always been proud to offer a welcome to everyone as equal, valued members of the school community. We are proud to be a place of safety and inclusion for all!

Everyone in St. Paul's has contributed in our work towards this award but special congratulations must go to our own Mrs. McCotter who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes helping us on our journey to becoming a School of Sanctuary.

Dear Pupils and Parents

At this time we would like to wish all our pupils, parents, staff and wider school community every blessing during the difficult times ahead. The bonds of our school community will be tested like never before, we will have to develop new ways to communicate and support each other, new ways to learn and build friendships, but we will persevere and work together to come out on the other side of this crisis stronger and closer than ever before. We look forward to welcoming everyone back safely when we come through this. 

Please keep checking the school website for updates and announcements.

Good luck and God bless.

Mr. McNamee
